Since the last update, the message app don't keep running in background,
it's really busy, for every launch, you've to wait up to 10 seconds or more depending amount of message you have .. it's a really bad idea ..

I'm here to ask people, if someone know a way to keep the process running in background.

Updated your Q a bit and deleted your bumper, just keep the app open if it annoys you that it is actually stopped when you close it. (I have close to all apps open, that is what multitasking is for - browser makes oom-killer close them sometimes but well thats better than having your phone freeze like on android!), you may change this to a feature-request May we have an option to keep Messages alive in background?

The worst thing, is that sometimes the processus seems to be running again after cloing message app,
In lighthouse, i can see the message app running, eating a little bit of RAM, but the app isn't in cache.
So it's really .. idiot !

@Giacomo-Di-Giacomo as much as I like to have a 4GB RAM device... I had winXP running on a 512MB machine (P4), so how about reducing the footprint on Jolla1 first instead of becoming like android where every new version needs shiny 600eur hardware to run smooth (at least we have no Java leaking)

Maybe your XP was an old version. I had XP SP3 running on a 1 GB netbook and it kept swapping forever. Expanding it to 2 GB cured the situation. XP is more than 10 years old, don't forget. Anyway, I want to run apps in addition to the OS, so I want lots of RAM to exploit multitasking, including the new split-screen mode that is coming from SFOS 2.

I made a comparaison with my old n95, and it's faster to open message app with the n95 than with jolla running last update. Amazing ... And for people saying " Keep it running ", please read again, the goal is to close it normally.

We are investigating this internally. There are a variety of things we're investigating to fix, related to this issue, including the way we resolve sender/receiver information for messages, how we do the database access in this flow, and the in-memory format we use for results.

It was perfect on 1.1.4, this problem came from 1.1.6
I'm using the power menu (coderus app) double tap function to open message app, and before 1.1.6, there was no loading time, double click : it's open ! It was a really cool thing ..
